RECOMMENDATIONS

These recommendations are the surveyor’s ideas and suggestions for addressing deficiencies with damaged or suspect components or systems found during survey or general improvements.  The primary recommendations address safety items, structural issues, operational issues or deficiencies which the surveyor determines are of greater importance or more expense than secondary deficiencies.  For instance, items that pose a risk to passenger safety or immediate property damage are listed under primary deficiencies and cosmetic concerns are addressed under secondary deficiencies.  Most of the recommendations have been addressed in the comments and usually they are discussed at the time of the inspection.

 

PRIMARY

 

  1. Maintain the fire extinguishers per NFPA recommendations.  Extinguishers should be inspected and tagged annually and inspected by a qualified technician or replaced every six years.
  2. Provide federally required, approved and current distress signal flares.
  3. Provide a secondary anchor and rode for use in emergencies or two anchor situations.
  4. Properly secure the fuel tank bonding wire for the port engine to the fill fitting.
  5. There is no AC over current protection for the shore power inlet.  Provide proper over current protection.
  6. The electrical outlet that is above the shore power inlet is not a GFCI outlet.  Replace the outlet with a GFCI outlet and prove it properly functional.
  7. The starboard fuel fill hose is cracked at the tank fitting.  Replace the hose.
  8. Provide an oil placard per federal regulations.
  9. The electric horn is currently disconnected and there is no suitable sound signaling device aboard.  Provide a suitable sound signaling device or reconnect/repair the electric horn and prove it properly functioning.
  10. Determine the cause of the gasoline smell about the starboard transom locker and in the starboard fuel tank area and address appropriately.
  11. The bow lights are both combination red/green lights.  Replace the lenses so that they are singular red and green.
  12. Properly connect the discharge hose to the starboard aft bilge pump.  The client contacted us after the survey and reported that he has replaced the aft bilge pumps and connected the discharge hose to the new pump.
  13. Service or replace the float switches for the two amidships bilge pumps and prove the switches and bilge pumps properly functional.
  14. There is a clamp missing on a fuel hose connection on the starboard engine.  Install a clamp.
  15. Determine why the engine exhaust water discharges from the flush hoses on the engines and address appropriately.
  16. There are smaller wires below larger wires on battery terminals.  Arrange the wires with smaller above larger per ABYC recommendations.
  17. Service the all-around light and prove it properly functional.

SECONDARY

  1. The bait pump’s through hull valve and the head intake’s through hull valve are seized.  Service or replace the through hull valves and prove them properly functional.  The client contacted us after the survey and reported that the through hull valves have been replaced.
  2. Properly install a latch on the forward deck hatch as desired.
  3. There are cracks on the deck aft and forward.  Address as desired.
